THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 81: The Mockery of Jesus |
|
|
The public was invited to the execution site and the
Roman soldiers allowed onlookers to view the crucified up close.
Many reveled in the misery of Jesus and taunted the Son of God. This
included the Jewish political and religious leadership, the same
vermin that condemned Jesus to death, were active at the arraignment
with Pontius Pilate, persuaded the mob to call for the death of an
innocent man, and now were determined to mock the divinity of the
Messiah to the end. Even the malefactors railed against Jesus,
calling for Him to free them, but after a while, one of the men
recognized his spiritual depravity and repented. It was a ray of
sunshine in an otherwise dreary day. In the midst of this, the love
Jesus had for His mother was evident when He saw her accompanied by
John. It was the custom of the oldest son to care for the parents
when they got older, and even with the pain and suffering Jesus
experienced, He directed the apostle to care for His mother to
ensure that she was not forgotten. |
